I've lurked in these threads for years and years. It has literally gone through a good 4 or 5 "purges" where the regulars get above their station and then either depart or the mods intervene and force them out.

Within a couple of months the thread will be bristling, full of activity and on the ascendancy again. I'm sure a few others who post very sporadically will know what I mean.

sounds lovely. I'll check it out next season

That disgusting attack on Ibrahimovic for those that missed it

https://vine.co/v/egHPbDxArtE

Disgusting by JT. The way he attacked Ibra elbow with his head. He could have seriously injured Ibra and ended his playing career.

 

[Clegg]

Getting above our station.

Interesting interpretation.

 

[brokenbeans]

I still think we are gonna have a slow start to the season.

Kevin De Bruyne has been voted Germany's football player of the year.

He's not German

Deserved. Played what I expected Götze to deliver.

He's not German

Lol.

 

[la_briola]

Close enough.

 

[Lashley]

If Gotze is indeed available, I wonder who will sign him?

Would like him at Arsenal but do we really need him? I'd rather we got Benzema but I don't think that's ever happening.

 

[brokenbeans]

I want another striker rather than a cam or winger, I just worry if Rooney gets an injury who picks up the goals?

Wilson is a real talent but I'm not sure he's ready for thae kind of expectations staring for United carries.

 

[Labadal]

It makes me sad to see most of our rivals playing well and us (Liverpool) still playing like we did last season.

 

[dc89]

Farewell Jojo, enjoy your time at Inter.

People read far too much in to these preseason games. Man Utd had a fantastic preseason last year too, beating Madrid 3-1, but they weren't able to transition in the season at the same level.

Chelsea lost to a reserve MLS team too lol.

Problem is finding a striker content to sit the bench. Buying a top striker means playing 2 up front or dropping Rooney a bit deeper to play CF or AM which I feel like he can't really do anymore, or at least not without an extremely hard working striker or one that can create space for him to run into. Chicharito is the best option we have currently to play with Rooney up front. As much as I like Rooney there are times when I wish we had moved on and sold him, would have given managers a lot more freedom with the team.

Its great seeing Jesse Lingard have another great preseason, but its time we see if he can turn that preseason form into production during the season. If he's not gonna be playing with the first team he needs to be loaned to a prem team, and if not sell him. Guy will be 23 in December.

And Red Bulls had just gotten rid of their expensive designates players. I think their entire wage budget is 3.5m USD.

Mourinho is right though, preseason is fake.

It's pre season you silly sausage. The whole point of it is to get fit and try new things for the coming season, it means nothing.

Actually Rodgers is the silly sausage mate..

Where's that league of Ireland fan gone?

Limerick can still survive.

Rest of you are fake fans

Götze isn't available.

 

[Lashley]

Götze isn't available.

Understood. Sorry

Time to watch Arsenal show no mercy again.

 

[norinrad]

Götze isn't available.

No point signing him, should have stuck with Dortmund.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

Arsenal really need to start this game :/

 

[nitewulf]

I'm ok with this, obviously Wolfsburg is a very good team...its a good test. This Adelaide kid is...exiting! I love technically gifted players that actual use their skills.

 

[Lashley]

Wolfsburg have been the better team, but I'm not too worried.

Adelaide is a fantastic player.

 

[Lashley]

Great performance.

Worry for any team who plays us at the Emirates this season.

Adelaide is a fantastic player. Really hope he doesn't get better and then leave us for a rival.

 

[Vinter]

Wolfsburg have proved to be a better challenge than Lyon, that is for sure. It is obvious that Arsenal needs to replace Arteta though.

Yeah, not sure why he was given an extension. He's a leader in the dressing room, but he doesn't add much on the pitch.

 

[brokenbeans]

 

[Hideous Snake]

Arsenal were alright today. As we were playing against the team who came second last season and destroyed Bayern.

 

[Lashley]

Thought we did brilliantly in the second half

Yeah get that guy in this thread he is as hardcore as they come.

It seems Wenger has more belief in him than anybody else. Would not be the first time would it?

Yes, they definitely played decent considering the opposition. Fair play to Wolfsburg playing on Arsenals weaknesses. And I could see why Kevin De Bruyne is player of the year. Everything Wolfsburg did was through him. Never impressed me at Chelsea, but seems to have benefited immensely from the switch.

 

[Hideous Snake]

True, still nowhere near yesterdays performance

Agreed. Kevin developed A LOT after moving to Wolfsburg

He didn't got much of playing time at Chelsea but the kid showed he got what it takes

 

[Labadal]

I know it's pre-season. The problem is that we are playing exactly like we did last season in the league.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Yeah get that guy in this thread he is as hardcore as they come.

Tank Lapnard is my favorite striker

 

[Haribi]

Can anyone tell me about Jose Rodriguez from Real Madrid B?
Only thing I remember is that he was touted as a very good talent and considered a potential Xavi Alonso successor a couple years ago but he doesn't seem to have developed as promised.
He's supposedly agreed to a 4 year deal with Galatasaray.

Hes alright but he should have left madrid sooner imo.
Galatasaray? This is news to me.

 

[Lashley]

Romero confirmed for Utd.

 

[DBT85]

Romero confirmed for Utd.

Happiest moment of his career clearly.

 

[Lashley]

Looks fucking delighted don't he

 

[Hideous Snake]

Indeed.

 

[Lashley]

"TO THE BENCH!"

 

[bonesmccoy]

Pro evo 2016 star Fark Lapmard.

 

[leadbelly]

I have a feeling Wenger is going to put Reine-Adelaide straight into the first team.

 

[Unkle]

''I don't know what to do with my hands.''

 

[Jack cw]

He looks so happy.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

That's what happens if you put a Man Utd shirt on some poor innocent soul.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Well the 'surprise transfer' is actually surprising for once I suppose.

 

[bjaelke]

Well the 'surprise transfer' is actually surprising for once I suppose.

Considering he (Gaal) was referring to a 'surprise' striker, yes.
